Purposelessness
Complete and utter purposelessness
Some lose all hope
Some find freedom in it
Complete and utter purposelessness
Start out afloat, end up adrift
Aimless and wandering
Untethered, tied down to nothing
Save for the laws of physics
Inherent in the being
Adherent only for the meantime
Complete and utter purposelessness
Educated in pursuit of the myth
Encouraged to believe
Discouraged from challenging
Deviation would lead to disappointment
Enlightenment is for the few
To reach it, one discards what they thought they knew
Complete and utter purposelessness
Some lose all hope
Some find freedom in it
No one controls it
All are subject to it

Give Me The Raise
(Heavy One)
I don't even want this job
All I care about is paying off my debt
While you can afford a house
I can afford a nice bag of chips
That's if I'm feeling spendy
You can fuck off on your brand new Ducati
I've seen your place and it's nice
Three cars and some motorcycles
While I've got the privilege
Of serving your dreams to move
On to an idyllic country life
While the rest of the shop
Are resigned to a grind that's terminal
It's not a bad job but
I just won't dedicate my life to it
Give me the raise
Give me the raise
Give me the raise
Give me the raise
So I can leave
And I'll be out of your thinning hair
I wanna leave so bad
But for the lure of steady pay
But for the lure of poisonous dust
Inhaled from dawn to dusk
I'll never forget five months straight
Of not working
Then you call me in a hurry
You think I'm chomping at the bit
To break my back?
When I've ruined my wrists
When my left toenail
Has slit his
Give me the raise
Give me the raise
Give me the raise
So I can leave
You wanna break your back
And get a stress gut
From overcompensating with sugar
While you try to stay sober
While you try to quit smoking
Give me the raise
Give me the raise
Give me the raise
Give me the raise
So I can leave
And I'll be out of your thinning hair

Tomorrow Has Got To Stop

Tomorrow Has Got To Stop
Enough with yesterday
The futures on the way
In our haste and our haze
Gaze through stained window panes
Ask the rust
Says neither boom nor bust
Procrastinating ever still
Nevermind our will
Tomorrow comes too soon
All for naught
This break won't be caught
It's got to stop
Tomorrow has got to stop
Anticipating emptiness
Calculate the debt
May the dream be put to rest
The myth of progress
Ask if you must
But questions bring disgust
Procrastinating ever still
Nevermind our will
Tomorrow comes too soon
All for naught
This break won't be caught
It's got to stop
Tomorrow has got to stop
Tomorrow comes too soon
All for naught
This break won't be caught
Tomorrow's got to stop

VANITY IN VAIN
If you think this song’s about you
Sorry to say, you know it’s not true
And if you think this song’s about me
Well, ain’t we just wait and see
Adult child
Certifiably sane
Buck mild
And vanity in vain
Just so vain
You weren’t born to be wild
A nature’s child disgrace
Load up all of your guns and uh
Explode into space
Adult child
Inarguably tame
Buck mild
And vanity in vain
Just so vain
I think I get it
I’m just about sane
Adult child
Certifiably sane
Buck mild
And vanity in vain
I’m just so vain
